Pupil Premium Review

Pupil Premium Audit

5th July 2017

Carried out by: Executive Head / National Leader of Excellence

As part of the school development plan and the current attainment of Disadvantaged pupils by the end of KS2, we initiated an external Pupil Premium review. This took place during the Summer term of 2017.

Below is an overview of the review:

Summary of proposed trails

How effective is teaching and leadership with respect to dis students? (Specific questions are listed, below).

What impact is first wave teaching, as well as interventions, having on improving progress and attainment for dis pupils? How do leaders know? How effective are teaching assistants and teachers in providing regular, timely feedback to dis pupils?

How effective is the school’s work with PP families? How do leaders know?

How well focused are monitoring activities at all levels, particularly core subject leaders, with respect to improving outcomes for disadvantaged pupils?

How well do disadvantaged pupils behave? Any disproportionality between PP and others?
